Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Visual Studio (Windows-only) is presented as the primary IDE, with detailed steps and screenshots. PowerShell is given its own section, with explicit recommendations for Windows hosting, while Linux deployment is relegated to Azure CLI or other tools. Many examples and instructions (such as file paths and compression commands) use Windows conventions, and some steps (e.g., .NET Framework 4.8) are only available for Windows. In some places, Linux options are mentioned but not shown in detail, and Windows tools or patterns are introduced before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide equal detail and screenshots for Linux workflows, including using Linux-native editors and shell commands.
  • Include explicit Linux file path and command examples (e.g., using zip/tar instead of Compress-Archive, showing bash syntax).
  • Where PowerShell is recommended for Windows, offer Bash or other Linux-native alternatives for Linux users.
  • Clarify which steps are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, and avoid presenting Windows-first unless justified by usage data.
  • Expand instructions for deploying to Azure App Service on Linux, including troubleshooting and configuration tips.
  • For .NET Framework sections, clearly state Windows-only limitations and suggest .NET Core/10 alternatives for Linux users.
